Definitions
- the present invention relates to a radiation-curable composition which luminesces and/or fluoresces.
- the composition includes a cyanoacrylate component or a cyanoacrylate-containing formulation, a metallocene component, a polymerizingly effective amount of a photoinitiator to accelerate the rate of cure, and a luminescent and/or fluorescent dye.
- Cyanoacrylates generally are quick-setting materials which cure to clear, hard glassy resins, useful as sealants, coatings, and particularly adhesives for bonding together a variety of substrates [see e.g., H. V. Coover, D. W. Dreifus and J. T. O'Connor, “Cyanoacrylate Adhesives” in Handbook of Adhesives, 27, 463–77, I. Skeist, ed., Van Nostrand Reinhold, New York, 3rd ed. (1990)].
- radiation cure generally presents certain advantages over other known cure methods. Those advantages include reduced cure time, solvent elimination (which thereby reduces environmental pollution, and conserves raw materials and energy) and inducement of low thermal stressing of substrate material. Also, room temperature radiation cure prevents degradation of certain heat sensitive polymers, which may occur during a thermal cure procedure.
- Radiation-curable, resin-based compositions are legion for a variety of uses in diverse industries, such as coatings, printing, electronic, medical and general engineering. Commonly, radiation-curable compositions are used for adhesives, and in such use the resin may ordinarily be chosen from epoxy- or acrylate-based resins.
- radiation-curable, epoxy-based resins include cycloaliphatic and bisphenol-A epoxy resins, epoxidized novolacs and glycidyl polyethers. [See e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 4,690,957 (Fujiokau) and European Patent Publication EP 278 685.]
- the common cure mechanism for such radiation-curable epoxy-based compositions is reported to be cationic polymerization.
- radiation-curable, acrylate-based resins include those having structural backbones of urethanes, amides, imides, ethers, hydrocarbons, esters and siloxanes.
- the common cure mechanism for such radiation-curable, acrylate-based compositions is free-radical polymerization.
- European Patent Publication EP 393 407 describes a radiation-curable composition which includes a slow cure cationic polymerizable epoxide, a fast cure free radical polymerizable acrylic component and a photoinitiator. Upon exposure to radiation, the photoinitiator is said to be capable of generating a cationic species which is capable of initiating polymerization of the epoxide and a free radical species which is capable of initiating polymerization of the acrylic component.
- the polymerizable acrylic component includes monofunctional acrylates and acrylate esters, such as cyano-functionalized acrylates and acrylate esters, examples of which are expressed as 2-cyanoethyl acrylate (CH 2 ⁇ CHCOOCH 2 CH 2 CN) and 3-cyanopropyl acrylate (CH 2 ⁇ CHCOOCH 2 CH 2 CH 2 CN).
- the photoinitiator includes onium salts of Group Va, VIa and VIIa as well as iron-arene complexes, and generally metallocene salts, provided that the material chosen as the photoinitiator is said to be one which is capable of generating both a cationic species and a free radical species upon exposure to radiation. (See page 5, line 56 —page 7, line 15.)
- EP 769 721 A1 describes a photocurable composition of (a) an ⁇ -cyanoacrylate and (b) a metallocene compound comprising a transition metal of group VII of the periodic table and aromatic electron system ligands selected from ⁇ -arenes, indenyl, and ⁇ -cyclopentadienyl.
- the photocurable composition may further include (c) a cleavage-type photoinitiator.
- U.S. Pat. No. 5,814,180 (Mikuni) describes such compositions in the context of a method of bonding artificial nails.
- adhesion failure may be due to improper placement by the end user of adhesive on the substrates to be bonded and/or when the end user does not know when the adhesive has fully cured.
- Fluorescing agents have previously been incorporated into curable compositions to provide a non-destructive method of inspection such as identifying cured films, and ensuring proper coating of the composition on an article. These fluorescing agents are typically used in UV/VIS (ultraviolet/visible) curable compositions. Most cyanoacrylate compositions do not require actinic radiation to effect cure.
- U.S. Pat. No. 6,017,983 appears to refer to the use of a diazo dye that is believed to form a salt or complex with acid anhydrides, which acts as a color indicator for particular anhydride/epoxy resin thermoset adhesives.
- the resulting salt or complex is reported to produce a chromophoric shift in the dye which is indicative of the amount of acid anhydride present, and hence, the degree of cure.
- the epoxy resin cures, the amount of acid anhydride diminishes thus producing a color change.
- This system appears to be limited to acid anhydride hardeners used to cure epoxy resins.
- U.S. Pat. No. 5,302,627 reports the addition of a dye to UV radiation curable silicone-containing polymeric compositions that contain photoinitiators. Upon exposure to UV radiation, the silicone-containing polymeric composition undergoes a color change indicating that the composition has cured.
- the dyes used include an anthraquinone dye having a Color Index Solvent Blue 104, 1-hydroxy-4-[(methylphenyl)amino]-9,10-anthracenedione, and an azo dye mixture of azo benzene azo naphthyl benzene amine alkyl/alkoxy derivatives having a Color Index Solvent Blue 99, and azo benzene azo naphthyl benzene amine alkyl derivatives having a Color Index Solvent Red 166. Large amounts of the dye, greater than 30 ppm based on the weight of the composition, are reported to inhibit cure.
- compositions which include a cyanoacrylate component or a cyanoacrylate-containing formulation, a metallocene component, a photoinitiator component, and a dye, which is luminscent and/or fluorescent.
- a cyanoacrylate component or a cyanoacrylate-containing formulation e.g., a cyanoacrylate-containing formulation
- a metallocene component e.g., a metallocene component
- a photoinitiator component e.g., a dye which is luminscent and/or fluorescent.
- a polymerizingly effective amount of a photoinitiator should be used.
- the luminescent dye provides a first visible color in the uncured state of the composition and a second visible color in the cured state of the composition, thereby conferring a second visual inspection method to determine when a composition has reached the cured state.
- the dye is fluorescent, thereby permitting the end user to determine readily the location on a substrate to be bonded when exposed to appropriate energy conditions.
- inventive compositions retain those benefits and advantages of traditional cyanoacrylate-containing compositions, and certain photocurable cyanoacrylate-containing compositions, while providing to end users the added physical property benefit of confirming visually without sophisticted equipment and testing when the composition has cured.
- a method of polymerizing a photocurable composition by providing an amount of the composition to a desired surface and exposing the composition to radiation in an amount sufficient to effect cure thereof.

- the hydrogen donor component ordinarily has one or more labile hydrogens attached to a carbon attached to a heteroatom, such as oxygen, or to point of unsaturation.
- ethers, alcohols and allylic compounds are well suited to donote hydrogen, particularly where the ether and alcohol contain more than one such group per molecule, and the allylic compound has more than one allylic hydrogen.

- cleavage photinitiators in combination with the hydrogen abstraction photoinitiator.
- the luminescent dye are those are substantially soluble in and non-reactive with the cyanoacrylate component and do not adversely affect the curing properties of the monomer. Luminescent or fluorescent dyes which adversely affect the storage stability of the cyanoacrylate component are undesirable as well, in particular, those luminescent or fluorescent dyes having a free nitrogen render the cyanoacrylate component unstable.
- the inventive compositions should exhibit good stability, with a shelf life of greater than about 1 year at or about room temperature. Shelf life is ordinarily determined by heating the compositions in glass tubes at a temperature of 82° C.
- the luminescent and/or fluorescent dyes suitable for use in accordance with the present invention are present in an amount sufficient to impart observable color when the composition is cured, such as about 50 to about 2000 ppm, for instance about 100 to about 800 ppm, desirably about 200 to about 400 ppm, based on the amount of the cyanoacrylate.
- the dye should impart fluoresence to the composition, when exposed to a black light.
- One particularly desirable dye of this sort is fluoranthene, whose chemical structure is shown below.
- the luminescent dye should impart one color to the composition when the composition is in the uncured state, and a substantially different color when the composition has been cured. These color differences are readily determinable by visual inspection with the naked eye. Those dyes classified as xanthenes and anthraquinones are desirable for use herein, particularly those which can be readily composition.
- the viscosity range of the compositions of the present invention may be from about 5 cps to a non-flowable gel.
- the dye when the dye is dissolved in the cyanoacrylate component, there is no initial fluorescence and little to no color; however, upon exposure to conditions appropriate for cure, the cured composition fluoresces, as seen under black light, and undergoes a visible color change.
- the visible color change may be from substantially colorless to red/pink or from yellow/green (which fluoresces under a black light) to substantially colorless.
- the color change and/or change in fluorescence provides an advantageous cure indicator for the end user to readily determine without the use of sophisticated and expensive detection equipment when the adhesive has substantially cured.
- the components may be introduced to one another in any convenient order.
- a ready made premix of those components may be added to the cyanoacrylate component of the formulation to allow for a quick and easy one-part formulation of a photocurable composition prior to dispensing and curing thereof.
- photocurable compositions in accordance with the present invention may be relatively fluid and flowable. Variations in the viscosity thereof may also be desirable in certain applications and may be readily achieved through routine changes in formulation, the precise changes being left to those persons of ordinary skill in the art.
- ordinarily cyanoacrylate-containing compositions free from an added thickener or viscosity modifier are low viscosity formulations (such as in the range of 1 to 3 cps). While a composition with such a viscosity (or one whose viscosity has been modified to be up to about five times that viscosity) may be appropriate for a wicking application where a small gap exists between substrates to be bound (e.g., less than about 0.1 mils (0.00254 mm)) and/or an application where enhanced cure speed is desirable, such a viscosity may be too low for convenient use in certain industrial applications.
- the viscosity of cyanoacrylate-containing compositions has at times been desirably modified through, for instance, the addition of polymethylmethacrylates and/or fumed silicas. See e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 4,533,422 (Litke) and Re. 32,889 (Litke), the disclosures of each of which are hereby expressly incorporated herein by reference.
- a medium viscosity formulation (such as in the range of 100 to 300 cps) may be more appropriate in applications where greater control of flowability is desirable such as bonding together molded polymeric parts.
- a high viscosity formulation (such as in the range of 600 to 1000 cps) may be more appropriate in applications involving porous substrates and/or substrates with larger gaps (such as greater than about 0.5 mils (0.0127 mm)).
- compositions of the present invention may be rendered into a thixotropic paste through addition of powdered organic fillers having a particle size of about 2 to 200 microns as is taught by U.S. Pat. No. 4,105,715 (Gleave) or thickened by a copolymer or terpolymer resin to improve peel strength as is taught by U.S. Pat. No. 4,102,945 (Gleave), the disclosures of each of which are hereby incorporated herein by reference.
- compositions of the present invention may be rendered more resistant to thermal degradation at elevated temperature conditions by the inclusion of certain sulfur-containing compounds, such as sulfonates, sulfinates, sulfates and sulfites as set forth in U.S. Pat. No. 5,328,944 (Attarwala), the disclosure of which is hereby expressly incorporated herein by reference.
- sulfur-containing compounds such as sulfonates, sulfinates, sulfates and sulfites as set forth in U.S. Pat. No. 5,328,944 (Attarwala), the disclosure of which is hereby expressly incorporated herein by reference.
- the inclusion of such compounds in the photocurable compositions of the present invention renders those compositions well-suited for applications in which elevated temperature conditions may be experienced, such as with potting compounds particularly where large cure through volume is present and non-tacky surfaces are desirably formed in less than about five seconds.
- a photocurable composition in accordance with the present invention may provide a formulation having particular advantages for certain applications, and at least in the case of viscosity modifiers should be appealing from a safety perspective as the possibility is decreased of splashing or spilling the composition on exposed skin of the user or bystanders.
- viscosity modifiers should be appealing from a safety perspective as the possibility is decreased of splashing or spilling the composition on exposed skin of the user or bystanders.
- the parts to be bonded with the inventive compositions are fixed by exposure to UV radiation, there is less of a chance for the assembler to touch or contact an uncured fillet.
- the relative amount of the various components of the photocurable compositions according to this invention is a matter of choice left to those persons of skill in the art, depending of course on the identity of the particular components chosen for a specific composition. As a general guide, however, it is desirable to include in the photocurable compositions a metallocene, such as ferrocene, in an amount within the range of about 0.005% to about 4% or greater (desirably within the range of about 0.01% to about 2%) by weight of the total composition.
- a metallocene such as ferrocene
- compositions prefferably include a photoinitiator, such as “IRGACURE” 1700 or 819, or “DAROCUR” 1173, in an amount within the range of about 0.125% to about 10% by weight of the composition, with about 0.5% to about 4% or greater by weight of the total composition being desirable.

- a method of curing a self-indicating photocurable cyanoacrylate composition in accordance with this invention is also provided herein, the steps of which include (a) providing onto a desired substrate an amount of a photocurable composition; and (b) subjecting the composition to radiation sufficient to effect cure thereof.
- the amount of self-indicating photocurable cyanoacrylate composition provided should be sufficient to cure and form an adequate bond to the substrate surfaces between which it is applied.
- application of the self-indicating photocurable cyanoacrylate composition may be achieved by dispensing the composition in drop-wise fashion, or as a liquid stream, brush-applied, dipping, and the like, to form a thin film.
- Application of the self-indicating photocurable cyanoacrylate composition may depend on the flowability or viscosity of the composition. To that end, viscosity modifiers, as noted above, may be included in the composition.
- compositions are desirably readily dispensed onto a portion of a desired surface of a substrate onto which is to be bonded a portion of another substrate.
- the photocurable composition may be applied to certain portions of the substrate surface or over the entire surface of the substrate to be bonded, depending on the particular application.
- the source of radiation emitting electromagnetic waves is selected from ultraviolet light, visible light, electron beam, x-rays, infrared radiation and combinations thereof.
- ultraviolet light is the radiation of choice, with appropriate sources including “H”, “D”, “V”, “X”, “M” and “A” lamps, mercury arc lamps, and xenon arc lamps (such as those commercially available from Loctite Corporation, Rocky Hill, Conn., Fusion UV Curing Systems, Buffalo Grove, Ill. or Spectroline, Westbury, N.Y.); microwave-generated ultraviolet radiation; solar power and fluorescent light sources.
- any of these electromagnetic radiation sources may use in conjunction therewith reflectors and/or filters, so as to focus the emitted radiation onto a specific portion of a substrate onto which has been dispensed a photocurable composition and/or within a particular region of the electromagnetic spectrum.
- the electromagnetic radiation may be generated directly in a steady fashion or in an intermittent fashion so as to minimize the degree of heat build-up.
- the electromagnetic radiation employed to cure the photocurable compositions into desired reaction products is often referred to herein as being in the ultraviolet region, that is not to say that other radiation within the electromagnetic spectrum may not also be suitable.
- radiation in the visible region of the electromagnetic spectrum may also be advantageously employed, whether alone or in combination with, for instance, radiation in the ultraviolet region.
- microwave and infrared radiation may also be advantageously employed under appropriate conditions.
- the chosen lamp should have a power rating of at least about 100 watts per inch (about 40 watts per cm), with a power rating of at least about 300 watts per inch (about 120 watts per cm) being particularly desirable.
- a photoinitiator in the composition may shift the wavelength within the electromagnetic radiation spectrum at which cure occurs, it may be desirable to use a source of electromagnetic radiation whose variables (e.g., wavelength, distance, and the like) are readily adjustable.
- the composition will be exposed to a source of electromagnetic radiation that emits an amount of energy, measured in KJ/m 2 , determined by parameters including: the size, type and geometry of the source; the duration of the exposure to electromagnetic radiation; the intensity of the radiation (and that portion of radiation emitted within the region appropriate to effect curing); the absorbency of electromagnetic radiation by any intervening materials, such as substrates; and the distance the composition lies from the source of radiation.
- a source of electromagnetic radiation that emits an amount of energy, measured in KJ/m 2 , determined by parameters including: the size, type and geometry of the source; the duration of the exposure to electromagnetic radiation; the intensity of the radiation (and that portion of radiation emitted within the region appropriate to effect curing); the absorbency of electromagnetic radiation by any intervening materials, such as substrates; and the distance the composition lies from the source of radiation.
- the source of electromagnetic radiation may remain stationary while the composition passes through its path.
- a substrate coated with the photocurable composition may remain stationary while the source of electromagnetic radiation passes thereover or therearound to complete the transformation from composition to reaction product.
- both may traverse one another, or for that matter remain stationary, provided that the photocurable composition is exposed to electromagnetic radiation sufficient to effect cure.
- UV curing systems such as the “ZETA” 7200 or 7400 ultraviolet curing chamber (Loctite Corporation, Rocky Hill, Conn.), Fusion UV Curing Systems F-300 B (Fusion UV Curing Systems, Buffalo Grove, Ill.), Hanovia UV Curing System (Hanovia Corp., Newark, N.J.), BlackLight Model B-100 (Spectroline, Westbury, N.Y.) and RC500 A Pulsed UV Curing System (Xenon Corp., Woburn, Mass.), are well-suited for the purposes described herein. Also, a Sunlighter UV chamber fitted with low intensity mercury vapor lamps and a turntable may be employed herein.
- the required amount of energy may be delivered by exposing the composition to a less powerful source of electromagnetic radiation for a longer period of time, through for example multiple passes, or alternatively, by exposing the composition to a more powerful source of electromagnetic radiation for a shorter period of time.
- each of those multiple passes may occur with a source at different energy intensities.
- those persons of skill in the art should choose an appropriate source of electromagnetic radiation depending on the particular composition, and position that source at a suitable distance therefrom which, together with the length of exposure, optimizes transformation.
- a luminescent and/or flourescent photocurable composition in accordance with the present invention may be dispensed, such as in the form of a thin film or droplet, onto a desired substrate.
- Substrates onto which the photocurable composition of the present invention may be applied may be chosen from a vast selection of different materials; basically, any material with which cyanoacrylates may be used is suitable as well for use herein. See supra.
- Desirable choices among such materials include acrylics, epoxies, polyolefins, polycarbonates, polysulfones (e.g., polyether sulfone), polyvinyl acetates, polyamides, polyetherimides, polyimides and derivatives and co-polymers thereof with which may be blended or compounded traditional additives for aiding processibility or modifying the physical properties and characteristics of the material to be used as a substrate.
- co-polymers which may be employed as substrates include acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene, styrene-acrylonitrile cellulose, aromatic copolyesters based on terephthallic acid, p,p-dihydroxybiphenyl and p-hydroxy benzoic acid, polyalkylene (such as polybutylene or polyethylene) terephthalate, polymethyl pentene, polyphenylene oxide or sulfide, polystyrene, polyurethane, polyvinylchloride, and the like.
- desirable co-polymers include those which are capable of transmitting UV and/or visible radiation. of course, other materials may also be employed as substrates, such as metals, like stainless steel.
- the composition-coated substrate may be positioned within an electromagnetic radiation curing apparatus, such as the “ZETA” 7200 ultraviolet curing chamber, equipped with an appropriate source of electromagnetic radiation, such as ultraviolet radiation, at an appropriate distance therefrom, such as within the range of about 1 to 2 inches (2.54 to 5.08 cm), with about 3 inches (7.62 cm) being desirable.
- an electromagnetic radiation curing apparatus such as the “ZETA” 7200 ultraviolet curing chamber
- an appropriate source of electromagnetic radiation such as ultraviolet radiation
- the composition-coated substrate may remain in position or may be passed thereunder at an appropriate rate, such as within the range of about 1 to about 60 seconds per foot, with about 5 seconds per foot. Such passage may occur one or more times, or as needed to effect cure of the composition on the substrate.
- the length of exposure may be in the range of a few seconds or less (for one time exposure) to tens of seconds or longer (for either a one time exposure or a multiple pass exposure), if desired, depending on the depth of the composition to be cured and of course on the components of the composition themselves.
- reaction product is also of course provided by the teaching of this invention.
- the reaction product is formed from photocurable compositions after exposure thereof to electromagnetic radiation sufficient to effect cure of the composition.
- the reaction product is formed rapidly, and ordinarily and desirably without observed formation of blooming or crazing, see infra.
- the reaction product of the photocurable composition may be prepared by dispensing in low viscosity or liquid form a photocurable composition in accordance with present invention onto a substrate and mating that substrate with a second substrate to form an assembly. Thereafter, exposure to electromagnetic radiation on at least one substrate of the assembly for an appropriate period of time should transform the photocurable composition into an adhesive reaction product.
- the viscosity of the photocurable composition may be controlled or modified to optimize its dispensability by, in addition to inclusion of an appropriate material to alter the viscosity thereof as noted above, adjusting the temperature of (1) the composition itself, or (2) the substrates on which the composition may be placed to assemble the device. For example, the temperature of the composition or the substrate(s) or combinations thereof may be decreased to increase the viscosity of the composition. In this way, the uniformity on the substrate of the dispensed photocurable composition may be enhanced using lamination techniques, centrifuge techniques, pressure applied from the atmosphere (such as with vacuum bagging), pressure applied from a weighted object, rollers and the like.
- the composition and the surface of the substrate on which the composition is placed should be exposed to the source of electromagnetic radiation.
- the choice of substrate may affect the rate and degree at which cure occurs of the photocurable compositions of the present invention. For instance, it is desirable for the substrates to be bonded together to be substantially free of electromagnetic radiation-absorbing capabilities. That is, the greater degree of electromagnetic radiation transmitting capability the substrate possesses, the greater the rate and degree of cure of the composition, all else being equal of course.
- Blooming or crazing may be observed when compositions cure into reaction products and the cure itself is incomplete. That is, blooming refers to the evaporation of cyanoacrylate monomer (due to its relatively high vapor pressure) from uncured fillets, the result of which is formation of a precipitate on surfaces adjacent to the bond line which are also observed as a white haze. Crazing refers to the formation of stress cracks on certain synthetic materials, such as polycarbonates, acrylics and polysulfones, due in this instance to the presence thereon of cyanoacrylate monomer.
- Adhesive or cohesive failure may itself be minimized or even eliminated by using electromagnetic radiation transmitting (as contrasted to absorbing) substrates and placing the source of electromagnetic radiation at a strategic location so as to improve the degree of electromagnetic radiation to which the composition on the substrate is exposed.
- additional sources of electromagnetic radiation or as stated above reflectors which redirect onto desired portions of the substrate stray or errant electromagnetic radiation, may be employed to further enhance cure.
- the luminescent and/or fluorescent photocurable compositions of the present invention may be used in far flung manufacturing opportunities.
- inventive compositions including, but not limited to, needles, tubesets, masks and catheters.
- needles With respect to needles, syringes, lancets, hypodermics, injectors, bodily fluid (such as blood or urine) collector sets, cannula/hub assemblies and cannula/tube assemblies, such as those to be used in connection with dialysis processes are but a few examples of needles for the medical industry which may be manufactured with the composition of this invention.
- dispensing a pre-determined amount of the inventive compositions and subjecting the assembly to UV radiation allows a quick fixation which will cure through the shadow area by the ordinary cyanoacrylate anionic cure mechanism to a full-strength bond within 24 hours.
- the inventive composition may be placed at the juncture between the cap and the collar in which may be placed a hub.
- tubesets intravenous sets, fluid delivery and withdrawal sets (such as drug delivery and blood withdrawal sets) and suction tubes are but a few examples of tubsets for the medical industry which may be manufactured with the composition of this invention.
- tubesets and connectors may be assembled with the inventive compositions by inserting one end of the tubing into the appropriate housing of a connector.
- anesthesia, face and surgical masks are but a few examples of equipment worn by providers of medical services, which may be manufactured with the composition of this invention.
- angioplast and balloon-type catheters are but a few examples of types of catheters, which may be manufactured with the compositions of this invention.
- compositions of the present invention exist beyond those specifically exemplified above and are contemplated within the scope thereof, including, but not limited to, silk screening or disc drive applications; holographic applications where a phase hologram is prepared for optical information storage; magnetic sensor applications for door/window alarms where the magnet is bonded to the sensor housing using the inventive compositions so that the dead space within the housing is filled; attaching gauge needles to support posts (e.g., in automotive applications); bonding together cardboard holding cartridges for batteries; loud speaker assembly [see e.g., in the context of Loctite “PRISM” Adhesive 4204, “Beyond a Simple Bond—Benefits of Adhesives Extend to Product and Process”, Design News (Jan.
- the inventive compositions may be used in at least five aspects of the assembly—attaching the spider (which aligns the voice coil to the magnet) to the frame, attaching the surround (which is connected to the case) to the frame, tacking the lead wires, attaching the dust cap to the cone, and attaching the voice coil to the spider and the cone; lens bonding applications; applications where blooming and crazing would be aesthetically unacceptable from a commercial perspective, such as in jewelry fabrication and repair applications where use of a thick fillet of cured material (such as a reaction product of the inventive compositions) would be desirable for structural mounting; electronic potting applications; and other applications where it would be desirable to obviate the need for the use of a primer material (which may be costly, contain an ozone-depleting material and/or may complicate the assembly process), for instance, the fastening of electronic wire tacking, and the like.
- a primer material which may be costly, contain an ozone-depleting material and/or may complicate the assembly process
- compositions of this invention provide a number of benefits and advantages. These include: a “self-indicating” cure detection mechanism and/or a qualitative location and amount detection mechnaism; a built-in secondary cure system (i.e., photo-initiation in addition to the ordinary cyanoacrylate anionic initiation), which is particularly attractive in those applications where certain of the substrates which may be used in the assembly do not allow the transmission of light, rendering another type of adhesive (such as a dual cure acrylic adhesive) less desirable because a secondary heating step would then be required; elimination of a substrate primer step, which obviates the use of often flammable materials and invites automated processes; and improves the cure though gap.
- a built-in secondary cure system i.e., photo-initiation in addition to the ordinary cyanoacrylate anionic initiation
